announces its collaboration with the cultural institution Carpe Diem Art and Research in the framework of the exhibition Carpe Diem Editions: The Story so Far. The show
opens on Wednesdaythe 25th of October2017 at 20.30 and runs until the 19th of November.

The collaboration takes place under the thematic umbrella #building_bridges featured in this year’s TAF exhibition program, aiming at building stable partnerships with cultural
organisations and institutionsin in and outside Greece. Carpe Diem Art and
Research is a centre for contemporary art and curatorial research. It is housed
in Lisbon’s renovated sixteenth-century Palacio Pombal and during all these years
of operation has presented multidisciplinary exhibitions and public programs,
reinforcing the artistic life of the city.

Carpe Diem Editions are limited printed editions created by artists after
their collaboration with Carpe Diem Art and Research. They came as a natural
extension of the contemporary art center’s curatorial program. This initiative
has developed into a new strong model of cultural sustainability.

The show Carpe
Diem Editions:The Story so Far is an open discussion on and presentation of the
artistic development in Portugal from 2008 onwards, during a period of several
economic, political as well as social transformations in the country. The
exhibition brings together more than 70 works by emerging and renowned Portuguese artists.
